The Rise of the Black Plain

Minos and Willow made their agreement official, with this level 99 woman promising to act on behalf of the Black Plain Empire once she reached level 100. In return, Emperor Stuart would allow her to reach that level with a supply of Divine Medicine.

After making this official agreement, she felt incredible but also curious about Minos' true abilities.

'Did the Spatial Kingdom come to you with two Divine Medicines? Who was behind such an inheritance?' She continued to speak through mental communication with him.

Minos said. 'More or less. You'll learn more in the future. As for who left it to me, that was Henricus Longus.'

'Oh? The first human God?' She was surprised by such a name and understood why Minos' inheritance was so good that he even had such a medicine with him.

'It's just a shame that you used your medicine only to improve the quality of your Physique. If you had waited until you reached level 99...' She was telling him when she realized her mistake and laughed.

'Reaching level 99... That won't be easy. He'll probably die in the war.' She thought to herself, imagining this was the reason for Minos' despair. 'It's better to improve his Physique now than to hope for an unlikely breakthrough.'

Willow's thought was simple. Minos would need centuries to reach level 99, but the aliens will be in this world in a few years. This young man would most likely never reach the peak of cultivation in this world. In other words, it was more advantageous for him to increase his power as much as possible now rather than saving things for the future.

'Forget it...' She bitterly laughed as she said in mental communication with Minos, 'You did the right thing. Better to take a chance now than to stand still in front of a terrible opponent.

Anyway, what are your plans from now on? How will we act in the future?'

He answered her without going into the details he had already discussed with Aarav. "First, I would like to set a date with you to deliver the medicine in question. For now, I want to test my powers a little and settle some old business, as I told you earlier.

Then, how would you like to go to Dry City in a few months? You can enter my dimension and cultivate in seclusion until you reach level 100.'

She asked him, "You want me to cultivate in your Spatial Kingdom?'

'It will be safer that way. That way, the medicine won't leave where it is, and it will be harder for anyone to see what we have. On the other hand, the leading experts in my state are studying alien technologies there. It will be important for them if you make your breakthrough nearby. It could help us increase our understanding faster.'

She knew the Minos' empire was much more advanced regarding alien technologies than her kingdom. So she saw no problem with it.

'I don't mind following these plans as long as we can share these technologies.'

'But of course. Sista will play an important role in the war.'

'Okay, I'll come to your city in a few months. It will be good for me to get to know my daughter-in-law.' She laughed, remembering that she had never met Sarah in person.

He asked her. 'What are you going to do now?

'I will see if I can ease your situation with the continent's powers. Vico and Maximillian are busy, but their men could cause you problems because of what happened in this kingdom. I'll see what I can do after I leave you. Just try not to show how capable you are of eliminating your enemies. Try to be peaceful when you talk to the envoys of the continental powers. With a little help, we might be able to get you out of most of the trouble your actions might cause.'

'Then I thank you.' He smiled. 'Anyway, I don't intend to stay here for long. I'll leave for the Western Empire in a week at the most. I want to meet Emperor Quinn to talk business.'

Willow didn't find Minos' interest strange since he already had agreements with many powers in the Spiritual World and it wouldn't be strange to seek a new partnership in the Central Continent.

'I wish you good luck.'

With that, he stopped using his domain and made the passage of time around him and Willow return to normal, with only a few moments having passed for the people waiting for him and Queen Sista.

"Your Majesty..."

Willow looked at her two advisors and said. "Let's go. We have some business to attend to."

"What about Emperor Stuart?" One of them doubtfully asked when they were already outside Veora's royal palace.

"I will tell you on the way. Let's go to Mairin now. I want to meet Tom. We'll try to help Minos with his current situation."

The two level 98 Demigods were surprised to hear this, curious what Minos could have offered Willow to make her agree to help him so quickly.

It couldn't be the fact that Sarah and George were married, so there must have been something valuable in their conversation!

Minos stayed behind in the palace to continue receiving envoys from outside Veora to talk about what had happened and what he was doing with this sudden action.

The main concern of the continental powers was not to avenge the death of a king and the end of his family. Everyone's concern was what an important name on the continent would do and his next steps.

Some were genuinely angry with Minos and felt he should be punished for what he had done. But most just wanted to know if he could still be trusted or if he would become a problem before the aliens arrived.

In the midst of all this, the terrorists in Veora couldn't help but change their plans a bit when they saw the local royal palace with someone else in their sights!

'We were about to meet King Veora... Should we try to meet Minos Stuart?' A level 95 man thought to himself as he considered his plans for this state.

Not meeting the local leader could be very dangerous for him, but meeting Minos could be just as dangerous. Now, this man had to think carefully about what he was going to do, or he could lose his future home or even die!

'I'll take my chances! If I don't make a deal with a powerful state, I'll be completely unprotected when the war is over!' This man thought about how his companions had already made agreements with other powers in the Central Continent to prepare for the chaotic future of this world.
